The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11g wireless devices is
called a “channel”. Channels available depend on your geographical area.
You may have a choice of channels (for your region) so you should use a
different channel than an adjacent AP (access point) to reduce
interference. Interference occurs when radio signals from different access
points overlap causing interference and degrading performance.
Adjacent channels partially overlap however. To avoid interference due to
overlap, your AP should be on a channel at least five channels away from
a channel that an adjacent AP is using. For example, if your region has 11
channels and an adjacent AP is using channel 1, then you need to select a
channel between 6 or 11.

communicate two or more LANs through the AP with WDS mode, all of the LAN will be
combined in the WDS group, for example:

There are 2 different WDS mode:

 Single WDS group application (there is a single AP Master and up to 8 AP

Salves connected)

 Multiple WDS group application:(there are more AP Master)

36

Single WDS group application

When there are three APs joined to the WDS group, one of the AP in WDS mode will
be the Master, the other two APs will be the Slave, all of the APs in the WDS group
must use the same wireless channel and the same security setting, the Master need to
fill all the Slave’s MAC address in the “Remote AP Mac” list, and the Slave need to fill
the Master’s MAC address in the “Remote AP Mac” list, the maximum of one Master
can join eight Slave to be one WDS group.
In this example, LAN-A can communicate with LAN-B and LAN-C, and LAN-B can
communicate with LAN-C through the AP-A. All of LANs will be at the same LAN
environment coming through LAN-A.

Multiple WDS group application:

When there are five APs to be join into two separated WDS group, the member of
WDS group 1 is AP-A, AP-B and AP-C, and member of the WDS group 2 is AP-C, AP-D
and AP-E, the AP-C will join both of WDS group 1 and WDS group 2, each WDS Group
1 will be one master and the other will be slave.
The AP-A and AP-C will be both as a Master AP for both WDS Groups, the AP-A
represent for the master of WDS Group 1, the AP-C represent for the master of the
WDS Group 2 and at the same time AP-C will be the slave of WDS Group 1, so all of
the APs in the two WDS groups must use the same wireless channel and same
security, the Master need to fill all of Slave ’s MAC address in the “Remote AP Mac” list,
and the Slave need to fill the Master’s MAC address in the “Remote AP Mac” list,
maximum allow one Master can be join eight Slaves to be one WDS group.
In this example, LAN-A can communicate with LAN-B and LAN-C, and LAN-B can
communicate with LAN-C through the AP-A. LAN-B will have the same LAN
environment coming through LAN-A.

LAN-E can communicate with LAN-B and LAN-D, LAN-E can communicate with LAN-D
through AP-C, LAN-E can communicate with LAN-B through AP-C and AP-A, LAN-E will
have the same LAN environment coming through LAN-A.

3.7 IP Settings

This page allows user to configure the IP and DHCP settings of the Access Point.

The default IP address of this access point is 192.168.1.1 with the subnet mask of

255.255.255.0. User can type in other values for IP Address, Subnet Mask and
Gateway and click “Apply” button for the changes to be effective.
User can also set the Access Point to obtain the IP from a DHCP server, but it is not
recommended. Select the option “Obtain IP Automatically” and click “Apply” button
for the changes to be effective.

48

 DHCP Server: It is not recommended to enable the DHCP Server if user has a

DHCP server running in LAN network because it probably will cause possible the
conflict of IP assignment. Enable the DHCP server function by selecting the
option “On”, and enter the IP range.

 DNS Server: Type up to DNS IP address in the text boxes. Your ISP will provide

you with this information.

Click “Apply” for the changes to be effective.

3.8 Advanced Settings

This page contains configurations for advanced users, which the change reflects the
wireless performance and operating modes.

 Beacon Interval: To set the period of time in milliseconds that AP sends out a

beacon. Default is 100 milliseconds.

 RTS Threshold: To set the size of RTS/CTS packet size. Default is 2432 bytes.
 Fragmentation Threshold: To set the number of bytes used for the

fragmentation boundary for directed messages. Default is 2436 bytes.

 DTIM Interval: This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic

Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients
of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the
access point has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients,
it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM interval value. Access point clients hear the
beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.

50

 SSID Broadcast: While SSID Broadcast is enabled, all wireless clients will be

able to communicate with the access point. For secure purpose, user may want
to disable SSID broadcast to allow only those wireless clients with the AP SSID
to communicate with the access point.

Question

What is Spread Spectrum?

Answer

Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency
technique developed by the military for use in reliable, secure,
mission-critical communications systems. It is designed to trade off
bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrity, and security. In other
words, more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of
narrowband transmission, but the trade-off produces a signal that
is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, provided that the
receiver knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being
broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to the right frequency, a
spread-spectrum signal looks like background noise. There are two
main alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and
Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS).

Question

What is DSSS? What is FHSS? And what are their differences?

Answer

Frequency-Hopping Spread-Spectrum (FHSS) uses a narrowband
carrier that changes frequency in a pattern that is known to both
transmitter and receiver. Properly synchronized, the net effect is to
maintain a single logical channel. To an unintended receiver, FHSS
appears to be short-duration impulse noise. Direct-Sequence
Spread-Spectrum (DSSS) generates a redundant bit pattern for
each bit to be transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or

A.4 FAQ

59

chipping code). The longer the chip, the greater the probability that
the original data can be recovered. Even if one or more bits in the
chip are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques
embedded in the radio can recover the o riginal data without the
need for retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears
as low power wideband noise and is rejected (ignored) by most
narrowband receivers.

Question

Would the information be intercepted while transmitting on air?

Answer

WLAN features two-fold protection in security. On the hardware
side, as with Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum technology, it has
the inherent security feature of scrambling. On the software side,
WLAN offers the encryption function (WEP) to enhance security
and access control.

Question

What is WEP?

Answer

WEP is Wired Equivalent Privacy, a data privacy mechanism based
on a 64-bit or 128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the
IEEE 802.11 standard.

Question

What is infrastructure mode?

Answer

When a wireless network is set to infrastructure mode, the wireless
network is configured to communicate with a wired network
through a wireless access point.

Question

What is roaming?

Answer

Roaming is the ability of a portable computer user to communicate
continuously while moving freely throughout an area greater than
that covered by a single access point. Before using the roaming
function, the workstation must make sure that it is the same
channel number with the access point of dedicated coverage area.

Question

What is ISM band?

Answer

The FCC and their counterparts outside of the U.S. have set aside
bandwidth for unlicensed use in the ISM (Industrial, Scientific and

60

Medical) band. Spectrum in the vicinity of 2.4 GHz, in particular, is
being made available worldwide. This presents a truly revolutionary
opportunity to place convenient high-speed wireless capabilities in
the hands of users around the globe.
